Uneaixoise

just watched the queen's diamond jubilee speech to Houses of Parliament

6:32 am

Uneaixoise

gotta love the brit broadcasters: "I found it to be quite jaunty." LOLOL

6:32 am

Anniebrook

Hi Une, hooray for the Queen

6:32 am

Uneaixoise

morning, annie :-)

6:32 am

Uneaixoise

she looked quite dapper in daffodil yellow

6:33 am

Anniebrook

Une, is there a law being debated in Tenn. re: abortions. Plublishing the names and addresses of all involved?

6:34 am

Uneaixoise

oh, jeez, let me go look -- I DO know they're bringing back to the legislature all the crap about evolution and creationism . . . AACCCKK

The House Health and Human Resources Committee is expected to vote on the bill Wednesday, and Odom said he expects it to pass in the GOP-dominated House. It will then move to the state Senate, where Republicans are also in the majority.

6:41 am

MollyL

*Throws up red flag* Abortion is probably not the best topic to get into here.

6:41 am

Anniebrook

They can't deal with the economy, world affairs so, again, it is women. If men could get pregnant abortion would be sancrosanct.

6:42 am

Anniebrook

*sees Molly's red flag* and agrees. shutting up.

6:42 am

Uneaixoise

molly, we're not debating abortions -- talking about right to privacy for women and their health providers

6:43 am

Uneaixoise

ok . . . won't pursue

6:44 am

Uneaixoise

just one more thing . . . remember, this is the state that's been expanding the rights of citizens to carry guns pretty much ANYWHERE

6:44 am

Anniebrook

*aside to Une* What next, dear?

6:44 am

MollyL

I understand Une. It's just a "hot button" topic on most discussion boards and usually ends up causing a huge ruckus.

6:44 am

Uneaixoise

ok, off my pedestal . . . BBL *poof*

6:45 am

MollyL

Wow, even trying to keep the peace offends.

6:45 am

Anniebrook

Molly, I dont think she was offended.

6:45 am

Uneaixoise

back to respond . . . if you're talking about moi, I'm not offended, Molly!!! Just need to get dressed and go pick up donated food for soup kitchen! :-)

6:46 am

Uneaixoise

and now really poofing :-)

Hello Nono!

In the classic movie-musical, The Wizard of Oz, the many-hued Horse of a Different Color that leads Dorothy and gang through the Emerald City wasn't actually painted. Instead, animal rights activists advocated that the white horse be sponged with different flavors (and colors) of gelatin and then physically restrained from licking it off.

8:20 am

Okay, I'm taking a poll. Has this ever happened in your school district: Today they delayed school openings because of...fog.

8:20 am

crosshair

of fog??..err no

8:20 am

crosshair

maybe our U.K friends perhaps

8:21 am

Judi

I have never heard of this in my life (except in a Steven King novel).

8:22 am

crosshair

probably delayed cause they want those photo ops nice and crisp and clear if it is a new school opening..need to see the mayors pearly whites as he cuts that ribbon

8:22 am

Judi

No school opening. We're in the middle of the school year here.

8:22 am

phaeton

yes...if it was dense enough our district has delayed school

8:23 am

crosshair

ahh you said school opening and i hazarded a guess

8:23 am

crosshair

you mean the start of the school day ..no,never due to fog

8:24 am

crosshair

due to ice,yes,blizzards yes,whiteouts,yes,floods,yes,power outages yes

8:29 am

Judi

I guess lack of visibility is a potential hazard. However, that's one of the reasons they make those school buses BIG and YELLOW. Much the same color as our grid.

8:31 am

crosshair

lol,this grid should of had one of those stop signs pop out in front just like the bus

8:33 am

Judi

Well, I'm still inclined to think it falls under the category of the "general marshmallowing of society".

cannabis from Columbia??? good grief! Enable won't allow "online" or "tatsoi" but it goes for drug slang??? What a weird dictionary. I love this game.

11:16 am

jwr

It's an L of a word

11:17 am

MollyL

Enable allows drug slang, derogatory racial slang and acronyms. It's not a very good word list/dictionary.

11:18 am

Erda

It also predates the use of computers, so it never heard of things like online, reboot, etc.

11:20 am

majmom

ch7 any clues?

11:20 am

MollyL

I would like to know who is the lazy so and so who refuses to update Enable.

11:21 am

ch7... ch + assault is a vi***** crime

Updating a dictionary is probably not a simple matter

11:22 am

Updating Enable would be simple. Just copy the lists that babblers have made over the years.

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

the gears anagram is very funny, molly

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

it has been an awful winter, seaspray, but I'm sure everybody is tired of my whining

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

I'll just say that we lost our lovely Max

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

and got a new and brilliant chow chow, Ruffino

12:20 pm

SeaSpray

Oh no, I am so sorry, we have had our ups and downs as well. I am so sorry to hear about Max, I know how heartbreaking that is. Awww, a new pup. That is wonderful.

12:22 pm

SeaSpray

What color is ruffino?

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

he is fluffy beige with a black face, but since this is puppy wool, it is hard to know if he will darken

12:23 pm

kje

FW!

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

he's very handsome and has totalled all my spring bulbs but as soodle said, "Pish on the flowers, they'll come up next year@

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

yay kje

12:24 pm

SeaSpray

He sounds beautiful.

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

he'll probably be shaded blonde like Ruby

12:24 pm

SeaSpray

lol about the flowers

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

<-- is a proud dog mama

12:25 pm

chow pups are so adorable - all fluff

12:25 pm

SeaSpray

I have a new grandson Ruby. He is one month old.

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

the fur texture is so different from the adults

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

and he's perfectly square

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

the only one who doesn't like him is Ruby and when she snarls at him and whines, he gets directly in her face and barks

12:28 pm

SeaSpray

Is your husband doing well?

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

no, he is fading

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

I've asked his daughter to come

12:29 pm

kje

ruby will warm up - she is just in shock right now that she has to deal with this young thing at her age.... and it didn't even come from her ; )

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

I hope you're right, kje. I think she's still grieving for Max

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

I think the noises she makes are probably what a mother dog would say

12:31 pm

kje

like - stop it and calm down!

12:31 pm

SeaSpray

So sorry to hear about your husband...is his daughter on her way?

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

exactly, kje

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

she looks like she'll bite him, but doesn't

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

and husband's daughter will be here in late May, I think

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

he's only 3 months old but his picture is next to feisty in the dictionary

12:33 pm

kje

hugs, ruby... tough time, but you are a strong woman

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

today I found an injured green finch in front of the house and when I walked over to it, Rufie got it in his mouth. I extracted the bird and held him and stroked his chest for about 15 minutes and finally he flew away

glant,here in the north,we have seen the effects of global warming for over 2 years now.this year it is really accelerated!

4:34 pm

viajes

what city, crosshair? I'm in Minnesota (so, almost Canada)

4:34 pm

dcseain

though global warming is technically accurate, global weirdening is a more accurate description of weather patterns

4:35 pm

bichon

how about nu 6/24?

4:35 pm

Glantarell

crossy, I have been conviced about climate change for at least the last 15 years - the acceleration may be enough for some people to start taking the issue seriously, but I fear we may be too late

4:35 pm

viajes

oooh, I want to use that. I usually say climate change, but global weirdening is so much better

4:35 pm

when you said small pecan, do you mean a variety f pecan that has small trees/nuts, or a dofferent nut altogether???

4:38 pm

I blame my 'bah humbug' tendencies on oiverkill on christmas songs when i was a child

4:39 pm

it is dc temp records are being broken every day so far in march for this area

4:39 pm

On the flip side, don't you break records for cold temperatures in a normal winter?

4:40 pm

doseffing

... that's two months ahead of schedule

4:40 pm

crosshair

last year dc,we had 7 feet of snow fall by dec 1th

4:40 pm

dcseain

this year, it was so warm we were mowing grass at xmas, and the ticks and moths did not die through the winter

4:40 pm

viajes

the fear is that all the plants are poking their heads out in the warmth and then the cold will come back and kill them all

4:40 pm

hurshy

ugh

4:41 pm

crosshair

no molly,this winter was nothing

4:41 pm

MollyL

No, I said in a "normal winter"

4:41 pm

ah, g=finally got the pecan thing - could be a generic term

4:41 pm

we only dipped below minus 20 a few times..nothing

4:41 pm

oh no, dc! killing ticks is the best part of winter!

4:41 pm

4:44 pm

i'm not minding it, though it's weird things greening a month early.

4:44 pm

crosshair

it is nice,but too many other things are knocked out of kilter molly

4:44 pm

dcseain

i worry that pollinators may not be out at the right time for the flowers, for example.

4:45 pm

MollyL

I can see how that would be so for a normally cold weather climate area, but around here, it doesn't affect much.

4:45 pm

it's creepy! I hate Minnesota winters, and I am loving this weather, but it feels like a horror movie.

4:45 pm

i have seen bees here - about a month ago

4:45 pm

Glantarell

and some flies at the weekend

4:45 pm

crosshair

that is one example dc,our sugar maples were caught off guard as well,you will not be gatting much syrup from us

4:45 pm

MollyL

*Passes around a fresh set of worry stones*

4:45 pm

dcseain

yes, bees are out here, as are wasps

4:46 pm

bichon

If the leaves come out and we have a snowstorm in April, we could have a repeat of last October

4:46 pm

crosshair

in already warmer climes,the alterations are less noticible

4:46 pm

dcseain

not to mention, likely wasn't cold enough for good syrup production anywhere in Canada or the US this year.

4:46 pm

Glantarell

hardly saw a wsp last summer

4:46 pm

uusue2

we are continuing to set temperature records - if March continues as predicted, it would shatter all temperature records, and would even be unusually warm for April (that is, if we were having temperatures like this a month later it would still be unusually warm)

4:46 pm

crosshair

but think on this,wait till 120 is the norm for your summers...

4:46 pm

crosshair

and we become the new florida

4:46 pm

I like the warm weather, although it is almost too hot (83F here now)!

4:46 pm

here, March as been as warm as late May/early June's averages.

4:47 pm

does florida become the new panama? or africa?

120 norm for summer temperatures? *Goes to make end of the world signs*

4:47 pm

Ahhh! You are all a terrible influence. I was going to be on here for ten minutes, not an hour. I have work to do!

do you think Babble would take "schmork" as a word?

8:52 pm

gwenski

I should be, but my excuse is I'm still on a grandbaby-high. Spent last week with four of them. *sigh*

my kids didn't have tantrums when they were toddlers, but they're making up for them now. lol

8:57 pm

gwenski

It just was nice to be with them. They are moving to Hawaii next month.

8:57 pm

FranMag

Hawaii is a great place for kids. I hope they like it here.

8:58 pm

gwenski

They were there before for three years (except the middle year when my son was deployed overseas). They are really looking forward to going back.

8:59 pm

mcurlschool

It may be nice fran but horribly expensive. My son-in-law took a job there and after seeing just how expensive it would be to live there my daughter and granddaughter opted to stay here in the states

8:59 pm

FranMag

that's true mcurl, that's why we have our DJ business.

9:00 pm

gwenski

My son is in the Army, so they are shielded from some of the horrible expensiveness.

9:01 pm

FranMag

I moved here from Guam, so it wasn't that big of a shock for me. lol

9:01 pm

mcurlschool

yes; being military does give some relief! girls are headed to visit daddy for sprint break and plane tickets were over $2000! Wish I could afford to go visit but even without having to have a hotel it's just downright out of reach
